    So I'm curious if there is any accurate information out there as far as the number of people who have left the JW's. Maybe annually or per decade or whatever.

    You have those who are disfellowshipped, those who are disassociated, and then those who are never baptised who just kind of walk away.

    I'm sure "the society" has these numbers, yet, I'm sure they don't come off of them. Does anyone have any incite?

    I think that the only increases in JW today are due to JW offspring.

    I'm sure that there is more JW leaving than converts coming into the Borg

    Well, 60% of my family has left and my dad was an elder for like 20 years. 4 of us are out and 3 are still in. We were the model JW family too. So that gives me hope overall. I think there is like, what?, 6.6 million in the JW's now?

    When I left 13 yrs ago i think there was supposedly like 6 million JWs. It would just be so interesting to see their turnover rate. ...or any numbers on the issue for that matter.

    You can get an idea from the Yearbook and Watchtower Worldwide Reports. It takes a little work and you have to get hard copies to do it.
